I apply the “No Wallpaper” option in Control Center but, after rebooting, wallpaper appears again. How to make the “No Wallpaper” choice permanent? I use the min-IceWM Desktop.

The “Wallpaper” option set via Control Center is ineffective for min- sessions
^—- oops, incorrectIn case this linked page doesn’t fully answer howto http://www.icewm.org/FAQ/IceWM-FAQ-8.html#ss8.2
followup by performing a websearch “icewm background”
(the icewm docs, and config, use the word background, not wallpaper)

Control-centre works here on min-icewm, after choosing No wallpaper I also clicked on “choose colour” and then on “ok”. Then “apply”.

If I turn the Desktop to icewm, the colour stays. In min-icewm, it doesn’t. Changes in ~.icewm/preferences like the ones below haven’t helped:
DesktopBackgroundColor=”Black”
DesktopBackgroundColor=”000000″
DesktopBackgroundColor=”#000000″
DesktopBackgroundColor=”#rgb:00/00/00″
DesktopBackgroundColor=”rgb:00/00/00″Running “icewmbg” from terminal didn’t help (if there was something at all to run).

Thanks caprea. I’ve edited the misinformation in my earlier post.
The wallpaper utility only mentions “Note: you cannot change the color with rox desktop”andfree, try directly executing the wallpaper-setting utility from terminal. Does it output any error messages?
/usr/local/bin/wallpaper.pyFor good measure (no harm), you might bulk re-apply the file ownership of everything pathed under your home directory, then retry using wallpaper-setter
chown -R andfree:andfree /home/andfree/*
chown -R andfree:andfree /home/andfree/.*Running “icewmbg” from terminal didn’t help (if there was something at all to run).
Please ~~ along the way, across my various responses to your help requests, surely I’ve coached you to “find out, instead of wondering” via which icewmbg, apropos icewmbg and alike

By its design the min- options are meant to disable everything that does not need to be run to have a “desktop”. This includes the wallpaper; Therefor what is being displayed is actually the slim background never being overwritten. If slim had no background it would be black…
The basic check from the code is thismin_check() { if [ "$im" != "min" ]; then if [ -f "~/.$wm/startup.disabled" ]; then echo_cmd mv ~/.$wm/startup.disabled ~/.$wm/startup fi launch_desktop & launch_desktop_pid=$! ; else if [ -f "~/.$wm/startup" ]; then echo_cmd mv ~/.$wm/startup ~/.$wm/startup.disabled fi fi }Where if it IS a min- option, move the window manager startup file (so that it does not run when the window manager starts) and continue on (which loads the window manager exec file). If it IS NOT a min- option, make sure the startup file is “startup” or not disabled and launch the desktop building sequence (which includes setting wallpaper “desktop-session-wallpaper”, conky, tray, app startup mechanism, screen blank, etc… ). If you want the same as a min-icewm option with a wallpaper you need to disable all startup items in ~/.icewm/startup and set all “true” options to “false” in ~/.desktop-session.conf.
Therefor skidoo is correct in that the wallpaper applied after a reboot it ineffective.
If it stays across a reboot as caprea says (it does NOT here), then I am suprised and would like to see the output of
cat ~/.desktop-session/desktop-code.0
and
apt-cache policy desktop-session-antixFor when this happens.

andfree, in case you want to edit the bgimage for SLiM login screen, the imagefile which read for slim background is
/usr/share/themes/antiX/background.jpg(nowadays, IIRC, controlPanel has a gui utility for swapping in a different bgimage for slim)
caprea
Dave, to choose “No wallpaper” in control-centre stays here after reboot on min-icewm and is black.

He always get’s a wallpaper.
Which shouldn’t anyway.Hmm, maybe skidoo is right and he changed the slim background.- This reply was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by caprea.

(Wasn’t suggesting the slim bg had already been changed, was just adding detail after Dave’s post mentioned SLiM.)

Maybe not all of andfree’s files pathed under home are currently owned by and are writable by the user?
find /home/andfree -type f ! -user andfree

Is andfree running live?
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Oh, my.
$ /usr/local/bin/wallpaper.py min-icewmThis executed the wallpaper-setting utility without errors.
Is andfree running live?
No. When I’m running live, there’s not such problem. No wallpaper appears.
The rest later.

Where if it IS a min- option, move the window manager startup file (so that it does not run when the window manager starts) and continue on (which loads the window manager exec file). If it IS NOT a min- option, make sure the startup file is “startup” or not disabled and launch the desktop building sequence (which includes setting wallpaper “desktop-session-wallpaper”, conky, tray, app startup mechanism, screen blank, etc… ). If you want the same as a min-icewm option with a wallpaper you need to disable all startup items in ~/.icewm/startup and set all “true” options to “false” in ~/.desktop-session.conf.
It IS the min-icewm and the file is ~/.icewm/startup.disabled

This is not accurate. When I boot into Live-USB, there is not background (it’s black), which is what I want. But the changes in Control Center don’t stay. After log-out and log-in, the grey-photo (the “slim” called?) appears, as it happens with the installed system, too. The difference is that on the installed system, the grey-photo (“slim”?) is there from the start.
